Description

Close to picturesque villages and wonderful beaches, this lodge is surrounded by countryside abundant in wildlife.

The perfect retreat, Great Hills Lodge sits on the edge of the pretty village of Week St Mary, close to the breathtaking beaches of Bude and Widemouth Bay in North Cornwall. It was created some years ago from the former stables of Great Hills House, an Edwardian gentleman’s residence inspired by the ‘Arts and Crafts’ movement, and built for the village doctor about 100 years ago.This delightful, semi-detached holiday lodge sits peacefully beside the owner’s home along a private lane. It offers the perfect tranquil base from which to explore this stunning location and has amazing views over the rolling countryside from every room. The lovely living room has a door leading to the enclosed courtyard with a sitting-out area, while the kingsize bedroom enjoys a memory foam mattress for added comfort, and for your four-legged friend a doggy welcome pack is included. Country walks with a public footpath through woodland are just yards from the lodge and are ideal places for walking the dog or spotting wildlife. Deer are frequently seen in the fields which the lodge overlooks, and there is wildlife in abundance surrounding the lodge.The village is encircled by beautiful rolling hills and magnificent scenery, with a well-stocked local store/post office and a lovely old church just a short walk away. It is the ideal holiday choice for family, friends and couples to relax and unwind at any time of year, and has great surfing and watersports close by. Bude is just 7 miles with its historic castle, vibrant town centre and vast array of good restaurants and bars; it also has three more glorious sandy beaches and a stunning coastal path. The picturesque fishing villages of Tintagel, Rock and Padstow are close by and the wild beauty of Dartmoor and Bodmin Moors are within easy driving distance, as is the famous Eden Project. Port Isaac, made famous in the TV series ’Doc Martin’, is worth a visit, as is Boscastle. For family fun, the Big Sheep and Milky Way adventure parks are not to be missed. Post Office, shop 500 yards, pub 1 mile.

What a fabulous peaceful location, and delightful hosts in Claire and John. Tranquility by the bucketful, and so many places to visit just a short drive away.

Response on behalf of the owner; Thank you for your kind words. We loved having you both and your grandson to stay. We are glad you managed to get a good photo of the woodpecker eventually. Come back and see us soon.
